Conservative commentator Michael Reagan, the son of former president Ronald Reagan, defended Bill O’Reilly this morning over claims that the recently fired Fox News host sexually harassed women.
Reagan, a contributor to the conservative outlet Newsmax, shared posts on Facebook and Twitter insisting that if women wear “low cut dresses,” then men should consider suing “for sexual arousal”:
If women are going to wear low cut dresses that show cleavage don’t be harassed when we men look.Or shld we sue for sexual arousal?

He also responded to the allegation that O’Reilly called a black coworker “hot chocolate” and grunted while passing her desk by saying that it was a compliment:
Hot Choclare used to be a compliment on your looks today it is called sexual harassment..@oreillyfactor

O’Reilly was booted from Fox News—with a handsome payout—after a long history of facing sexual harassment allegations.
